Making it harder on you-a reality check

On networking websites, we're asked to describe ourselves. On our own Professional Domination sites, we try to give potential clients an idea of our play style, interests, and personality. We have protocol set to attract the type of people we want to play with and deter those pesky "wankers" that try to eat up our time.

I'd say the following about myself: I'm understanding to a certain degree, but won't let people walk all over me; I'm an often blunt yet tactful communicator, I'm diverse and keep people on their toes, I'm always trying to learn something new, I expect those I interact with to be honest and treat me with respect, if I feel that's not being honored, I'm quick to sever ties with that person; I follow the philosophy, "life's too short to spend with those who don't give a shit about you", I get feelings about people and trust my gut, and few things shock or surprise me anymore.

My understanding nature has been really tested with regards to Professional Domination. I spend A LOT of time during pre-session negotiations. Why? Because even though you're going to be submissive to me in sessions, we're not in a 24/7 situation, therefore I respect your time and what you're looking for in a FemDom interaction. You should and have to give me the same respect. This has not been happening lately. Here are a few situations I've dealt with in the past few years as a Pro Domina:
1. A client who had seen me regularly for overnight sessions coming in high and attacking me.

2. Wankers leaving threatening voice mails on my cell phone. There are too many to discuss here.

3. My business partner refusing to pay me the thousands of dollars he owed me and then trash talking me on public forums.

4. A man waiting for me outside the dungeon and attempting to follow me home.

5. A regular client saying the following, "Since I've invested $X in you as far as sessions go, you owe me a nude session, a fuck, etc."

Wow! That's a lot of shit to put up with! Have you ever wondered why it's difficult to book a session with a Pro Dom? If you still do, read the section above again. If you're still clueless, you're of no value to a woman.

My aim in writing this is not for a pity party. It's for my readers to understand why I have my protocol and stick to it. Currently, my protocol requires a lot of back and forth with email and trying to schedule public meetings. I will NEVER book a session with you until we have a public meeting. Hours of my time are spent with you before we actually play and you pay a tribute! I think that's pretty damn generous. Do you get paid hourly at work? Or are you paid a salary calculating in the amount of hours of work expected of you weekly? How about bonuses and yearly raises? Here's some food for thought: The average tribute for a session with a Pro Dom has drastically DECREASED over the past twenty years, but the overhead for our business consistently INCREASES. My point is that we do what we do because we love it. Despite all our negative experiences and difficulties, we push on. We pursue other aspects of this business as well as other interests. This makes us very busy people.

My time has not been respected. I seek play partners and clientele who truly know the value of a Pro Dom and lifestyle player. I seek people who want to go on a genuine power exchange journey, not mere dabblers. I expect novices to do research on their interests and fetishes before contacting me for a session. As times change, I adapt my protocol to make things easier on myself and make sure I spend time with people who respect me.

With that said, stay tuned for changes in protocol. Since there has been an utter lack of respect lately, the newbies who want to spend time with me, will have to pay dearly for it. If you think this sucks, talk to the other males you know on forums, at clubs, meetings, and elsewhere to treat women better. All it takes are a few bad apples to make it harder on everyone.
